WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK-BASED DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR PRECISION AGRICULTURE
Wireless sensor networks is a new class of networks comprising of small, densely deployed, energy autonomous devices able to sense the environment, perform computations and self-organize into a network. This network is capable of wirelessly communicating the sensed information towards a remote base station for data gathering and processing. Based on wireless sensor network technology, and motivated by the increasing need for water management and optimum field irrigation in accordance with the spatiotemporal characteristics of crop fields as dictated by the Precision Agriculture concept, we propose a sense/process control structure towards this end. We argue that this system, which is in its early research stage, will allow for improved utilization of water in the primary sector with immediate consequences both on crop yield and quality as well as environmental protection.
